We invite Steve onto the show today, Steve having been a long time client and good friend has been with me since day 1, he has seen me through changes if gym locations, becoming a business woman instead of just a 'gym floor' PT and has overcome lockdowns and buying gym equipment and making his own home gym in his shed.

Steve talks about his own mental health battles and struggles with aggression and anger and how he now tries to channel it positively through working out and training in the gym and being part of the JRFITNESS community.

In this episode, we sit down with client Annabel who opens up about her mental health journey, feeling lonely in lockdown and dropping out of uni due to stress and feeling overwhelmed first time around. Fast forward 18 months, Annabel has gone back to uni, is surrounded by much more positive people and uni housemates, she has joined a gym and gone from not ever wanting to set foot in the weights room without me guiding her, to transitioning to being an online client and smashing squats and deadlifts, amongst other things on her own

Listen to Annabel's story and any advice she would give to others who may have struggled and might be able to relate to her stories and experiences.
